We are slowly getting prepared for Lani's birthday party. The weather could go either way and I am trying not to keep checking the weekend forecast on my local news website. Normally I wouldn't care, but I have a lot of people coming with a lot of kids and I just don't have the room in my house. Plus, Lani would most likely have an anxiety attack with all those kid's touching her things. I tried to reserve the lodge in our association but it's been booked from 9-5 that day:( Oh, well! As long as Lani has a nice day then I will be happy. Michael went to the store and stocked up on Abby Cadabby birthday supplies from Target. We wont open them until we know who is coming so I can return whatever we don't use. I also have a cake idea, but I think that it looks better in my mind. I really wish Sharon and her cake making self was closer;)

Wesley's practice and game was canceled for the week so that's two things I can cross off of my to do list. Michael's band is playing this weekend for a Relay for Life benefit. If you are local and would like to check them out then shoot me an email and I will give you more information. I think that I am more nervous than Michael is!!

Lani has been running a fever and feeling yucky the past couple of days. I can feel a molar coming in so I am hoping it's only teething and not something more. I will give her one more day and if the fever persists then I will call the doctor. I don't want her to be sick on her birthday. She woke up at 6am this morning and asked to go "night night" at 8:45am. She has been sleeping in my bed 90 minutes so far. I actually got to watch Ellen with no interruptions since Oliver is napping also. Oh, and I am blogging:) I REALLY should be cleaning, but whatever!!

Good luck with the party! It's such a big undertaking, but usually very worth the effort. Hope the weather holds out for you. Crummy on the lodge being booked ... they CHARGE us to use ours (ridiculous rates too, like what you'd pay for a wedding reception venue!!), as if we don't pay enough in HOA dues. :P

i hope that lani's bday turns out to b a great one - regardless of the weather/location! don't stress it - i know that's hard tho....my kids' parties always give me an ulcer....it's hard to just sit back and enjoy them! and i hope she's feeling better soon too!

ugh! Kids birthday parties make my head hurt. We keep them much simpler these days. Blake is turning 8 next week and inviting 5 friends over for two hours. That's enough for me. It gets easier when the kids are old enough to get dropped off so you don't have to entertain their parents too!

Who am I?

I live in New Hampshire with my husband Michael and my two kiddos, Wesley(11) and Lani(5)! I own a home child care so I can be home with my children.I have a passion for creating scrapbooks and taking photos. I'm in the process of starting my very own photography business:} I love to spend time with my family, going on day trips and other adventures! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
